Ipswich Town are considering sending Kayne van Oevelen on loan to ensure he gets regular football this season. The 23-year-old goalkeeper has struggled to break into the team, with most of his minutes coming as a substitute. According to Levante-EMV, Valencia have revived their interest in van Oevelen, who was signed by Ipswich Town just weeks ago.
What happened?
Kayne van Oevelen's situation has developed quickly during pre-season. Levante-EMV says most of his minutes have come as a substitute. Ipswich are therefore considering sending him on loan so he can play regularly.
Why it matters for Ipswich Town
Ipswich Town want van Oevelen playing more than he currently would at Portman Road. The club paid €4m for the goalkeeper, who was initially wanted by Valencia. However, Ipswich Town stepped in and changed the situation.
What comes next?
A temporary deal would also make much more financial sense for the Spanish side. There would be no transfer fee, while Ipswich could cover part of van Oevelen's wages. Valencia have already contacted his representatives to explore whether a loan can be done.
Ipswich Town are currently 11 points behind leaders Coventry in the Championship. The team has scored 80 goals this season, conceding 47. League standing (final 2025 table -- new season not yet under way): 2nd in Championship, 84 pts, 23W-15D-8L from 46 games, recent form WDDWD.
